Hello everyone, I'm Francesc.

I've been working long hours each day as a coach driver for the last 15 years. Also, I've been waiting for every free weekend, holiday, and day off after work to enjoy my free time. Even though I work long and difficult hours, I enjoy making friends and learning from the passengers I serve daily. 
I think I'm an extroverted, tolerant learner. I love interacting with all types of people from around the world. If you come here, you'll see! As a friend said, life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them.

I live alone in a house, in a small town (Aitona) in the countryside, not too far from a little city, Lleida (30 min).
I have two children, Blanca (28) and Clàudia (21). They are great daughters, one in school and one working. They are the light to guide my way.

My favorite activities are going for walks, hiking, dancing, aqua gym, etc. Also, I like to listen to music, read books and most of all, to have a cold beer with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started studying the English language six years ago because I realized that, my brain went slower than before, well it isn't one hundred percent sure. On the second level, our teacher gave us a magazine, which talked about traveling around the world through the CS website. I thought that hosting English speakers could help me to improve it faster.
Please, if you are seeking a place to sleep, clean your dirty clothes, or clean yourself, this is not your place.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of good music I listen to music for long hours a day on the radio. I like science fiction films like Lord of the Rings.
Recently, I've been reading short books like A Scandal in Bohemian by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Apollo's gold, the Picture of Dorian Gray, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Ring, and Lost at Sea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a father of 2 extraordinary children! They both are too big to play with their father. I love playing games with kids, I would love hosting parents with children, singles, or couples it really doesn’t matter!!

LA VACA CEGA
Topant de cap en una i altra soca,
avançant d'esma pel camí del aigua´
se'n ve la vaca tota sola. És cega.
D'un cop de roc llançat amb massa traça´
el vailet va buidar-li un ull, i en l'altre
se li ha posat un tel: la vaca es cega.
Ve a abeurar-se a la font com ans solia,
mes no amb el ferm posat d'altres vegades
ni amb ses companyes, no; ve tota sola.
Ses companyes, pels singles, per les comes,
el silenci dels prats i en la ribera,
fan dringar l'esquellot, mentres pasturen
l'herba fresca a l'atzar.... Ella cauria.
Topa de morro en l'esmolada pica
i recula afrontada...Però torna,
i baixa el cap a l'aigua, i beu calmosa.
Beu poc, sense gaire set. Després aixeca
al cel, enorme, l'embanyada testa
amb un gran gesto tràgic, parpalleja
damunt les mortes nines i se'n torna
orfe de llum sota del sol que crema,
vacil·lant pels camins inoblidables,
brandant llànguidament la llarga cua.
